Whether it's the Night Rose or the Primordial Sovereign, both are highly eye-catching "tags." As soon as the post is published, readership surges by hundreds per second, and comment counts keep rising. Within less than ten minutes, there are already three or four hundred comments. By 9:30, when the morning rush ends and most people either return to their desks or get out of bed, the post has surpassed 999 comments. [The Sovereign has a complaint: Front row! Why is it always about the Primordial Sovereign again? I've seen enough of his news. I'll just skim it now and check it later at work.] [Little Pig George: Indeed, the Primordial Sovereign has been appearing frequently lately—seems like he's always causing trouble, never quiet.] Since the Primordial Sovereign became an official figure, he's consistently been the subject of major events, occurring every few weeks. Many forum members feel he's overburdened, with one event following another, never ending. Fortunately, recent incidents of evil occupation trials have kept things lively—daily reports of hunts and counter-hunts are circulating online, generating substantial discussion and drawing attention away. During calmer periods, there would surely be a wave of complaints: "We're just fed up!" The posts are lengthy, detailing that following the major health check-up, the senior leadership at the Songhai branch plans to conduct a thorough review of mid- and lower-level staff, to prevent any potential "leakage." As a result, they have appointed Yuanshiyuan, a clean and capable figure, to conduct an undercover investigation. Through Yuanshiyuan's dedicated efforts and the tireless spirit of the volunteer 007, a clear target has been identified—the steward Chuyue An from the Sha Kou district. A detailed list of cases has been compiled, including testimonies from female victims. It's overwhelming and deeply distressing. [How long will it take for a lawful, orderly profession to achieve this? How did he rise to the position of steward? Shouldn't the senior elders also be investigated?] Oh, yes—officials are also orderly; they do things their way, and their bloated bodies and fat bellies are all drawn from the people's own resources. 【Going away is hard: Brother, be careful what you say. But this Red Moon An isn't human at all—execute him, execute him right away. I'm having my blood pressure soar, doing annual health check-ups every year, yet every year there are still so many useless, mediocre people just occupying positions. Is the annual health check-up just a formality? I suspect the top leadership might be involved in this.】 #Longer days ahead—admin muted for 10 minutes# #Going away is hard—admin muted for 30 minutes# The two most outspoken members received 10-minute and 30-minute mute packages respectively from the forum management. 【The King is ill: Those two brothers above are a bit too passionate. Being orderly isn't about being a saint—humans naturally have flaws. The difference lies only in whether people have the opportunity to show them. It's hard to eliminate mediocrity entirely, so we conduct annual health checks and keep eliminating bad habits year after year. That persistence is what truly matters.】 Moreover, Chi Yue An is from the Night Rose Sect, and frankly, the Night Rose Sect is just unbearable. They're eliminating one member every time they meet. Speaking of that, I retract my earlier comment—Master Yuan Shi has done an excellent job. The more such events unfold, the more I enjoy them. I can never get tired of watching them. [Little Pig George: The Night Rose Sect's infiltration of our Five Elements Alliance is truly alarming—they've even appointed another steward. I've read through the notice many times, and it's thrilling and satisfying, yet they haven't detailed the process thoroughly. Have you noticed that they managed to capture Chi Yue An on the spot, a Saint-level figure? How did Master Yuan Shi accomplish that?] [Jiang Yang: The notice mentions that the investigation was carried out single-handedly, but it doesn't say that capturing Chi Yue An was done alone. Oh well, if I had a teammate like that, I wouldn't be lounging around doing nothing.] [The Sentimental Jenny: Wow, I've completely changed my opinion of Master Yuan Shi. I always thought he was a talent, with a good appearance, but I never expected his character to be so outstanding—he's truly a princip There can be many geniuses, but it's the ones who maintain order who truly command our respect. The senior management at Songhai has finally been doing their jobs—most satisfying. "Call me Queen: After seeing this, I can hardly believe how utterly disastrous a steward can be. Yuan Shi truly lives up to my expectations—he's outstanding. I'm certain he'll become a steward, and I'd like to transfer him to Songhai." "Countess: Hmph. While I'm furious about Chi Yue An's situation, Songhai's decisive action in rooting out long-standing problems is commendable. Their attitude surpasses ours—our division is full of corrupt officials, I suspect many of them are actually members of the Night Rose. I recommend that the headquarters send Yuan Shi Tianzun over to investigate." Yuan Shi Tianzun's reputation has now become radiant, filled with praise. This is different from the acclaim that follows his killing of Li Xianzong and the official's need to vent frustration—where the praise focuses on qualities like "powerful" and "talented," yet remains somewhat hesitant and respectful. What truly elevates a person's character and integrity is the consistent effort to eliminate corruption and uphold justice Though such individuals, once they falter, face severe repercussions, as long as they uphold moral integrity, they remain a golden brand—steadily accumulating over time, their standing becomes unshakable. Beyond praise for the Prime Immortal, the Songhai Branch has also received substantial commendations. Observe their stance: they identify and remove problematic members, and hold individuals accountable—this is precisely the attitude expected from senior leadership. As long as the roots remain sound, minor issues will inevitably be addressed and rectified. [Call me Queen: I recently gathered intelligence—do you know the background of Chimei An from the Songhai Branch? He was once a junior spouse of the Zhu family, later divorced and joined the Five Elements Alliance. It's said he maintains close ties with the Zhu family.] [The Sovereign has a complaint: Ah, a junior spouse of the Zhu family—now I understand why he's so unruly. Without a strong background, how could any steward dare to act so boldly?] [The Princess: Divorced? Then he was the junior spouse of which Zhu family daughter? ] ["Call me Queen: Zhu family's sister, whose reputation in the circle isn't great—she's said to be fond of keeping young, handsome men as companions, with a rather questionable lifestyle. Moreover, she's a true eccentric, known for mistreating her male companions. I just found out last year she utterly ruined a young, fresh-faced man, leaving him with nothing but physical and emotional trauma. Do you think Chijue An couldn't bear her after her divorce? And the post mentions Chijue An has a habit of mistreating women—well, I can't say any more. If anyone wants to know more, please send me a private message.] …… A dimly lit study. A pale yellow desk lamp illuminates the computer screen. The senior protector, draped in a cloak, sits at the desk reading an email. The email contains the post from the Wuxing Alliance forum about Chijue An, along with the official messenger's scathing reply to the Night Rose. As he reads, the lips beneath his hood tighten, and a subtle tremor runs through his face. "The senior monks of the Songhai branch are truly shameless—they've gone too far!" The Grand Protector issued a low, restrained roar of anger. "They've been dousing my Night Rose with all sorts of mud, haven't they? And they're taking advantage of the fact that Night Rose lacks a strong public voice, aren't they?" "Ah…" The Grand Protector slowly exhaled, thinking to himself: Perfect—just as the official internal tournament is about to begin, it's time to give them a real surprise. "Ring-ring-ring…" The phone buzzed, breaking the quiet. The Grand Protector picked up the communication device beside him, glanced at the caller, and answered. "Grand Protector, I heard the whole thing—the Songhai branch have been utterly unfair. They've not only treated us badly, but have just cost us another Saint. This injury will surely be avenged!" came the furious voice of a direct subordinate. "...Ah." The Grand Protector's lips tightened, almost drawing in a sharp breath. Night Rose is a secret organization—its members rarely interact with one another, communicating only with their immediate superiors. Besides the head, only three protectors have access to the records of mid- and lower-level members. Therefore, even a member of saintly rank often doesn't know exactly how many people are in the organization, nor where they are assigned or what positions they hold. "Though, to be honest, Master Chìyuè Ānkě is truly extraordinary—she has so many ways of accumulating wealth, yet she consistently chooses the most unrefined ones. How could the Night Rose have attracted someone so mediocre?" "...?" The senior protector took a deep breath, his voice low and strained. "Are you particularly idle, then? Has Fu Qingyang been eliminated? Has Yuan Shǐ Tianzūn been eliminated?" "This…?" The subordinate paused, momentarily thinking that the senior protector had pulled out a key piece of his strategy, thus causing some disappointment. The senior protector said little more, simply reprimanded the subordinate and hung up the phone decisively. ... Kangyang District, Huitong Road. A young man wearing a sports headband and a safety vest, diligently sweeping dust and trash from the street with a broom, thorough and meticulous. King Mago has always been passionate about cleaning up garbage—whether it's actual trash or human-generated waste. As long as he can restore the world's cleanliness, he will go without compromise. Of course, sweeping city streets is itself a good deed that contributes to one's moral score, though it's modest and time-consuming. Yet when King Mago comes to Songhai, his efforts are like searching for needles in a haystack. Finding people throughout Songhai while simultaneously sweeping the ground doesn't conflict with one another. Occasionally, he helps elderly pedestrians cross the street, and whenever he sees someone showing disrespect to the elderly, he gives them a good scolding—sometimes even marking them for future action, accumulating moral points until he finally visits them to take their heads off. At that moment, his phone buzzes in his pocket. King Mago straightens up, holds his broom, and pulls out his phone to answer. "Your Majesty, we've gathered intelligence on Yuan Shi Tian Zun and the Zhishi Palace. A wandering cultivator from the Lawful faction reported that recently, several Zhishi Palace members have appeared at the underground black market in Kangyang District, purchasing large quantities of materials—seemingly preparing to leave Songhai." "Oh? They're withdrawing?" the Mage-Eyed King smiled and asked, "What about Yuan Shi Tian Zun?" "Regarding Yuan Shi Tian Zun, the information is more complex—verbal description falls short. I've already sent it to your email." Beneath the headband on his forehead, the magical eye thrummed wildly, as if striving to break free from its seal, blazing with fury to reveal itself to the world and purify evil. With one hand pressed firmly against his forehead, the King of the Magical Eye continued to gaze downward, soon catching a concise account of Yuan Shǐ Tian Zun alone entering the thieves' lair to gather evidence, launching a decisive assault there, and capturing the steward, Chìyuè Ān. As he watched, the vertical eye on his forehead gradually calmed, and the intensity of his gaze softened. "Quite well done," murmured the King of the Magical Eye. "Indeed, he is a true saintly woman." This aligned with the intelligence he had gathered about Yuan Shǐ Tian Zun—clean record, no notable flaws—making it difficult for him to find a compelling reason to strike him down recently. "Perhaps I should bring him back to the Commander-in-Chief's court, so that the grand cleansing of the world may have a fellow traveler..." After a moment of thoughtful reflection, the King of the Magical Eye dialed his subordinate's phone. "There are three tasks for you to attend to. First Two: Gather intelligence on the Night Rose, and eliminate any of its members without mercy. Three: I need detailed information on the elite families involved in the Chrysanthemum Moon case. "Yes!" ... Fu Family Villa. Zhang Yuanqing sat in the study, sipping a fine cup of black tea and enjoying a summer dessert served by the Rabbit Girl. By his side was Guan Ya, across from him were Ling Jun and Li Dongze. Ling Jun murmured, "Fu Qingyang truly fits the official world—how unscrupulous, how deeply unscrupulous. His actions remind me of a story." "What story?" Zhang Yuanqing stirred a spoonful of ice cream, asking in sync. "Oh, the flood story—specific details have slipped my mind," Ling Jun chewed thoughtfully. "But what about the enchantress who has been manipulating events? Has Fu Qingyang proposed a solution?" "No. He intends to wait until I personally approach him." At that moment, Zhang Yuanqing received a notification from Ling Jing: [Morality Points +2000] Indeed, his morality points have increased—by two thousand this time… Zhang Yuanqing was He was right—doing good is not simply about donating, engaging in public welfare, or helping an old lady cross the street. Punishing the wicked and rewarding the virtuous also counts as good deeds. Currently, it appears that major cases must reach a conclusive verdict and be formally closed before moral credit can be settled in one go. While a case is still ongoing, moral credit remains unaccounted for. Hmm, is moral credit awarded when a villain is killed, or only when the case is officially concluded and publicly announced? If the former, then the estimate of the Chief of the Town regarding the moral credit of the Heavenly-Eyed King is inaccurate. "Huh, I've actually earned 300 points of moral credit—quite good! The damages to the security officer have been fully compensated, and I'm even making a profit," said Ling Jun, who also received a notification from the spiritual realm, beaming with satisfaction. Li Dongze expressed admiration: "I only earned 30 points, since I didn't do much." Guan Ya smiled gently: "Chief, I earned 60 points." The elder Si Ji took a sip of juice and turned to look at Zhang Yuanqing beside her. "Yuanshǐ, shouldn How many moral points has the Lingjing accumulated? Li Jing and Li Dongze looked at them with keen curiosity.
